Additional reasons that caused Hájí Mírzá Aqásí not to allow the Báb to come to Tihran

According to Mírzá Abu’l-Fadl, Hájí Mírzá Aqásí sought, by his reference to the rebellion of Muhammad Ḥasan Khán, the Salar, in Khurásán, and the revolt of Áqá Khán-i-Isma’ílí, in Kirmán, to induce the sovereign to abandon the project of summoning the Báb to the capital, and to send Him instead to the remote province of Ádhirbayján.
